What kind of trail did you ride today?
Personally, I love mudding with my bike. Not puddles, but huge, deep, up-to-the-forks mud. So tell us your favorite type of trail, and while you're at it, throw in the type of trail you conquered today on your mountain rig.

Gotta say i hate mud. Too much clean up and maintenance involved for me. I love rocky, rooty, technical stuff. Really like log crossings and such.

I'm not a fan of mud and only ride in it if I'm racing. Also, riding in muddy conditions is really bad for the trails.
I love rocks. Rock gardens are my playground.

I would be too afraid to mess up a trail I made if it was really muddy, then again old motocross trails can be good cause most of the dirt is packed harder I guess...

i went about 20km today with my school in riding mountain national park, only 8 kids went. just small hills, grass trail (worn down from tires, that was kinda nice), mud pits from washouts (really fun just to fly through them), and roots and rocks. it was nice and easy, you could get going at a pretty good pace. we averaged 14km/h overall, and 25km/h on downhill sections.
at first everyone didn't want to bike through the mud, but me and my bestfriend would just fly by them. we got covered. then everyone started doing it, a couple kids went OTB. that was too funny! my best friend did it and landed mud. his whole arm went straight into the mud, we had to pull him out. this one kid did it like 3 times, he was just covered. haha.
we went to grey owl's cabin (archey baleny is his real name) and beaver lodge lake. the cabin stunk like mouse crap, and the lake was a slough. i tried walking into to it to swim and clean up, but sank up to my waist in mud. it was like quick sand, people had to pull me out, if i didn't i'd be up to my neck. the "lake" sucked, so we went down another trail to a lake to swim and clean up. it took us like 2.5 hrs on the trail (not including the lakes), but we stopped for slow kids alot.
i liked it alot, and me and my friends are planning a trip so that we'd bike all day, then camp the night. every night would be at a different site.

Like when in my Jeep I prefer the more technical stuff than running full speed through the mud but that's just me
